study what you want to learn with a textbook etc, e.g. ◊ vocabulary
- take a break for like 10 minutes
- come back, don't open your textbook, get a blank paper, write down everything you remember
- open textbook, and correct if needed
- do something else for a couple hours
- repeat
-
...can now make bigger intervals, as you would in SR
-
sounds boring and tedious, though
Jot Notes: As you are covering essential sections in your lesson, pause and ask your students to take a fresh piece of paper or sticky note and briefly, without looking at their notes, jot down the most important ideas you have covered.
